Introducing myself and my kit

I thought my first Post would introduce myself and the kit I am using,

During covid lockdown I thought I needed a hobby and exercise as I am approaching retirement, I had a small inheritance so I went mad and bought the camera and the 100-400mm lens, I decided from the start I was aiming at wildlife photography and developed a fascination for photographing birds on walks around our local fields.

I live in Somerset so often visit places like WWT Steart marshes and RSPB Hamwall

Now I have learnt to use the camera and I can see how much my photography has improved I want to do other types like Macro and Landscape, would also love to have a go at street photography.

With all these ideas I read that people do 365 challenges so I thought I would do a #photo365 challenge and publish a photo on here and on Twitter with the #photo365 Practice makes perfect..right?

I have a Canon 90D, The Canon 100-400mm lens, a sigma 150-600mm sport and a Sigma 1.4x converter, a canon f1.8 50mm lens, a sigma 17-70mm macro with a set of extension tubes, And a canon 10-18mm lens. I also have K&F square ND filters and the battery pack for the camera but rarely use it outdoors.

For software, I use photoshop and Topaz Denoise and Sharpen. I only shoot in raw and manual or bulb mode, no particular reason just seemed to get on better with manual mode.
